Outdoor photo beside a black stone Nandi bull statue garlanded with yellow marigolds, purple flowers and a white shell necklace, with a tall copper-coloured flagstaff or dhvajasthambha wrapped in yellow and red-purple flower garlands standing on a white square base. Coconut palms surround a dusty courtyard. A long-haired figure in a saffron orange robe stands with hands pressed together in namaste near the base. Another saffron-robed man stands beside a small wooden table with a pink cloth, holding a plate, and a third saffron-robed man stands at right. A white-clad man stands behind them. The scene suggests a puja or padapuja at the flagstaff.
